Domestic mutual funds (MFs) have stepped up buying of stocks this month amid a pushback by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs). Shrugging off concerns around lofty valuations, money managers have purchased stocks worth more than Rs 10,500 crore until July 23, as data provided on Sebi website.
Unless there is a huge drawdown in the remaining few sessions of the month, the buying tally for the month of July is set to be highest since March 2020.
